Trust and Misguidedness

Ch.10 - Trust and Misguidedness

(AN- Updates for this series will now officially be twice a week, on Mondays and Fridays. Enjoy~)

The doors to the library busted open, a pair of figures walking in. The mind controller raising a brow at the sight of the two heroes marching in. Red Beetle holding Kuro's arms and leading her in like she was a prisoner. His face blank and eyes empty.

He stopped before the altar of desks, where a few of the bodyguard lackies were gathered around. Shinsou waved for them to clear the way and he approached. He paused at the edge of the altar of desks and looked down at the two.

Kuro's eyes narrowed. "You're not going to get away with brainwashing him..."

Shinsou rose a brow. Did they take him for an idiot? He may not be the most athletic or strong... but he certainly was quick witted and smart. Snapping his fingers, he motioned for the students who were supposed to be guarding him to rush the pair of heroes.

Seeing as their plan had gone wrong, the pair separated and pushed their backs against one another.

"I told you that wasn't going to work!" Kuro shouted, seeing as Red Beetle's plan to pretend to get mind washed had failed miserably within a minute.

"Shut up! At least I fucking tried to think of something!" Red Beetle shouted back.

"I would have thought that he'd remember brainwashing you!" Kuro shouted back.

"The fucker has brainwashed nearly the entire school... I was going off the idea he might not realize who he can or can't control!" Red Beetle snarked back at his 'sidekick'.

Shinsou rose a brow at this. They were fighting and looked to be getting very irritated with one another. Perhaps... he could exploit this a little bit.

'Do what needs to be done' A voice in his head told him. 'The sooner you erase what makes them above everyone else... then everyone will truly be the same. And no one else will ever face disappointment for being born unlike something else!'

"Of course... and you'll get your miraculous.' Shinsou responded, clicking a button on his paper-thin mask.

"So now what?!" Kuro shouted, having not heard what the brainwasher had been saying or doing.

"Give me a damn moment to think! Let a real hero get your sorry ass out of here!" He shouted back, trying to defend himself against the numerous people trying to grab him.

"Oh... some brave hero you are to push this all on me..." Kuro sighed.

"Oh shut up!" Red Beetle shouted.

Kuro blinked and then noticed something that made her stomach drop. The students around her all stopped their movement and even backed up. Was that her voice? But where did it come from?

She turned around and looked up, seeing Shinsou's mask was glowing a little bit.

"Were you unaware of this little ability?" He spoke, though the voice sounded just like hers.

Before she could answer though, someone grabbed her again. Forcing her hands together and not letting her go. Kuro thrashed about, bumping into whoever was grabbing her, not liking how her captor was decked in red and black.

"RB, come on! Snap out of it!" She begged, but couldn't sense any sort of individual thought from him.

"See... now I'll remember brainwashing him." Shinsou beckoned the pair forward. "I may not be able to tell when you break people of my brainwashing... but I most certainly do remember every face I put under my ideology."
